Calipari's visit was his first with Langford, the third-ranked prospect and the top guard in ESPN's 2018 class, since September of last year. The 6-foot-5 guard was on Kentucky's campus for Big Blue Madness this past October. Marvin Bagley III and Zion Williamson, both ranked ahead of Langford by ESPN in 2018, are also Calipari targets.

Langford averaged 28.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 blocks per game for 25-4 New Albany this past season. He netted 44 points in the Bulldogs' regional final loss, marking the seventh time he’s eclipsed the 40-point plateau in his career. The junior owns seven of the school's top 10 scoring performances, including a record 46 points in semi-state play last season en route to the program's first state title since 1973. He sits atop New Albany’s all-time scoring list with 2,090 points, good for 32nd in state history.
